Disk writes #86

Hi & thank you for putting IOTstack together!

I noticed that right after installing a small set of IOTstack containers (i.e. portainer, node-red, influxdb, grafana, eclipse-mosquitto, pi-hole, rtl_433 to mqtt) on a fresh raspbian OS there are quite frequent writes to the disk on an otherwise completely idle pi. Over 24 hours these writes amounted to some 5 GB, which go towards shortening the life of the SD card or SSD. I was wondering if you could offer any hints to limit these writes? Are they really necessary considering the system is completely idle otherwise?

I've tried to identify the "hot file(s)" but I got nowhere so far (I could not get sysdig to work due to some compilation errors when building dkms and I didn't have time to troubleshoot it further; sysdig docker container also throws some errors so no luck with that either).

Many thanks!
Dan
